DPWH warns of Holy Week traffic due to road repairs, reblocking
The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) warned the public of heavy traffic during the commemoration of Holy Week due to road repairs in Metro Manila.
Secretary Rogelio Singson on Wednesday said there would be a road reblocking project along Edsa specifically between Madison Street and Ortigas Avenue (northbound) and between Connecticut and Boni Avenue (southbound), which will be closely supervised by DPWH Metro Manila 1st District Engineering Office.
“We have already directed the project contractor B. Bernardo Construction to start the road works as scheduled and ensure the on-time deployment of sufficient manpower and equipment resources to avoid delay in the completion and facilitate opening of affected lanes by 2 p.m. of Easter Sunday, March 27, 2016,” Singson said in a statement.
The DPWH Quezon City Second District Engineering Office will also implement the setting up of geolift at one to two inches depressed 1st lane concrete pavement along Edsa northbound in front of Camp Aguinaldo Gate 3.
The installation of geolift high density polyurethane foam will also start on Maundy Thursday, March 24 at 2 a.m. and will be completed on Good Friday, March 25.
The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority has also gave clearance to DPWH Quezon City First Engineering District and its contractor I.M. Construction Corporation for the reblocking at 1st lane of Qurino Highway-Lagro in front of Asia United Bank from 2 a.m. on Maundy Thursday to 2 p.m. on Easter Sunday. RAM
